Untitled is a 1966 gouache by Ray Johnson, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This artwork shows three stacked pieces on a wall. The top is a wavy black-and-white pattern, like lines of ink or thread. The middle is a grid of small, colored rectangles with a dark shape in the center. The bottom looks like a brick wall made of flat paper pieces with gold edges. The brick section has uneven gaps between the "bricks," making it look slightly off-kilter. The colors in the middle piece are mostly muted, with hints of purple and blue. If you like this mix of shapes and materials, check out Ray Johnson.
